@NETED PATENT QFFEQE,

JOHN'CISHEK, OF GRANTWOOD, NEW JERSEY.

NECKTIE-HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J 01 m (hermit, a citizen. of the United States, residing at Grant wood, in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same. 7

- This invention relates tonewand useful tween the inner and outer sections of the:

collar that the inherent resiliency of the necktie holder will be utilized to hold'and main tain' the upper meeting ends of the collar in close engagement with each other and pre vent casual separating thereof.

A further object of the invention is to provide a necktie holder which is formed from a single piece of resilient material, and which is of comparatively cheap and inexpensive construction.

With these and other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises the various novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described hereinafter and set forth with particularity in the appended claim.

Referring to the drawings,

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved construction of necktie holder and necktie shown attached to a standing collar.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the necktie holder 7761 86.

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through the meeting ends of the collar and showing the holder bowed outwardly, and in the act of being sprung into operative position, and

Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the holder sprung into operative position.

Similar characters of reference are used Specification of Letters Patent.

to denote corresponding parts throughout the accompanying drawings and the followlng description. Referring more particularly to the drawings, my novel construction of necktie holder embodies a pair of spaced side bars 1, each of which has its upper end edge straight and inclined inwardly, as indicated by the numeral 2, so that the upper edges of both side bars converge, by virtue of which they will more efiectively remain in proper applied position against casual slipping within the collar fold; Each of the side bars 1 is provided with an inwardly extending shoulden 3 disposed at its inner upper end and serves in conjunction with the upper converged ends 2 to form agreater bearing surface. 1

The lower ends. of the side bars 1 are connected by a bottom cross-bar l which is provided intermediate its ends with a depend-' mg tongue 5. This tongue 5 18 provided centr-ally with an aperture 6 which. communicates with a vertically disposed notch 7. The side bars 1 are also connected by an intermediate cross-bar ,8 disposed adjacent but in spaced relation to the bottom bar fto provide an elongated opening 9 through which and around the intermediate cross-bar 8 1s adapted to be threaded and tied the necktie 10. In the use of the device, the necktie 10 is tied around the intermediate cross-bar S, as

clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, in

a secure and effective manner. After the necktie has been attached to the tie holder, the latter is positioned between the inner and outer sections 11 and 12 of the collar so that the upper converged ends 2 of the side bars rest within and against the fold 13 connecting the inner and outer collar sections.

After the necktie holder has been arranged in' this position, it is flexed outwardly, as shown in Fig. 3, by a slight upward pressure which is brought to bear against the apertured tongue 5 by the thumb and forefinger of one hand. while the thumb V of the other hand is inserted within the collar behindthe collar-button 14, so that the outer end 15 of the collar-button may be readily and quickly engaged through the aperture 6, and the collar-button shank 16 subsequently engaged within the restricted notch 7 communicating with the aperture 6, the inherent resiliency of the material comprising the holder serving to hold and maine tain the holder in operative or applied position, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. s a

Then the necktie holder has been applied in position, the inherent resiliency, of the holder or the spring and elastic tension of the holder between the collar-button and the told 13 ofthecollar will be sufficient to hold and maintain it in applied position against casual displacen'ient or disengagement from the-collar and its connecting collar-button.

It will also be apparent that by virtue of the conver ing upper end edges 2 of the side bars that when they are arranged in position, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, the inherent r resiliency or spring tension of the holder between the collar-button and the fold 13 of thecollar will serve to urge the upper meeting ends of the collar together and at the same time prevent casual separation of the collar ends during the use of the collar. Therefore, it will be noted that the necktie holder serves a two-fold purpose,first, to

lholditseli in position against casual displacement or disengagement from the collar,

and second to urge the upper meeting ends Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.

silient sheet metal, as will best serve the purpose for which it is intended.

I claim As an article of manufacture, a necktie holder formed from a sheet of resilient material and embodying a pair of side bars having their upper ends straight and inclined toward each other and provided with inwardly extending bearing shoulders to fit in and against the fold of the collar, a bottom bar connecting said side bars, a tongue depending from said bottom bar and provided with a collar button receiving opening, a reinforcing bar adjacent but spaced 7 from said bottom bar and connecting said side bars, said tie holder adapted to be flexed outwardly by an upward pressure on the tongue to spring the tongue over the collar button, the inherentresilien cy of the tie holder maintaining it in applied position and at the same time exerting an inward tension on the upper ends of the side bars to prevent the casual separation of the meeting ends of the collar.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN CISHEK.
